Abstract: 128,638. Armes Automatiques Lewis Soc. Anon., and Hulse, F. W. Aug. 20, 1917. Machine guns; cartridge magazines. - Relates to cartridge magazines of the type used in the Lewis gun, and consists mainly in fixing the pan member of the magazine to the gun so that the radially-arranged cartridges are moved axially, but not circumferentially, when the magazine centre-block is rotated. The invention also consists in providing a rotary tray at the bottom of the magazine which serves to receive the cartridges from the magazine and transfer them to the breech chamber or other rceptacle. The invention is shown applied to a Lewis magazine holding 400 cartridges. The fixed portion of the magazine comprises (1) an inner hollow post 1 carrying a disk 2 and fitting the usual post 3 on the gun, the disk having an aperture 4 leading to the breech chamber 24, and (2) an outer cylindrical drum 6 with cover 7, the drum having cartridge-spacing rods 8, the usual guides 9 for the cartridge bases, as well as a central screw 45 and spring catches 11 for detachably connecting the drum to the fixed inner portion of the magazine. The movable part of the magazine comprises (1) a rotary centre-block 21 having a double spiral guide 26, 27 for the bullet ends of the cartridges and carrying a plate 28 with two diametrically opposite apertures 30, Fig. 3, and (2) a rotary tray 20 having the same number of radial compartments as the drum 6 and notched on the outside periphery so as to be rotated step by step by the usual feed-mechanism during the working of the gun. The centre-block 21 is connected with the rotary tray 20 through an epicyclic bevel-gear comprising a fixed wheel 41, an equal wheel 40 moving with the tray, and planet-pinions 42 mounted on the centre-block, which is thereby rotated at half the speed of the tray. This relative movement permits tongues 35, 28<1> on the plate 28 to force the cartridges c from the drum 6 through the openings 30 into the compartments of the tray, the transfer being facilitated by springs 37 arranged adjacent to each opening. The number of spiral grooves in the centre-block, and also the relative speeds of the centre-block and tray, may be varied, so long as one cartridge passes into the tray for each cartridge that passes out of the tray into the gun. By removing the cover 7, the magazine may be refilled without removing it from the gun.

Abstract: An apparatus for the production of hydrogen comprises (a) a hydrocarbon fuel scaurse, (b) a steam generator, (c) a combustion chamber disposed so that heat may be transferred therefrom to, (d) a compartmented reactor consisting of a reaction chamber containing a reforming catalyst separated from a hydrogen diffusion chamber by a diffusion element permeable only to hydrogen, (e) means for introducing the hydrocarbon fuel and steam at elevated pressure to the reaction chamber, through a vaporizer preheater to which heat may be transferred from the combustion chamber, for conversion to a gaseous mixture containing hydrogen, (f) means for removing hydrogen from the diffusion chamber, (g) means for removing residual gaseous products from the reactor side of the diffusion element, (h) means for introducing these residual gaseous products and air into the combustion chamber, (i) means for supplying heat from the combustion chamber to the steam generator, and (j) a start-up device comprising heater means for initiating reaction between the fuel and steam in the reaction chamber.  The fuel flow may be maintained by applying steam pressure from the steam generator to the fuel scaurse by means of a flexible diaphragm disposed between the steam generator and the fuel scaurse.  The supply of heat from the combustion chamber to the steam generator is preferably controlled by a flue-gas damper, the position of which is regulated by the temperature and/or pressure of the steam generator.  The fuel and steam may be metered into the reaction chamber through fixed area orifices and residual gaseous products may be introduced into the combustion chamber through another fixed area orfiice such that the reaction chamber is pressurized by the flow of residual gaseous products through this orifice.  This latter orifice may operate as an aspirator, thereby inspiring air to be used for combustion of the residual gases.  The reforming catalyst may be a platinum group metal catalyst, i.e. Pb, Pd, Rh, Ru, Os and Ir supported on a refractory oxide, e.g. alumina, silica, thoria or combinations thereof. Hydrocarbon fuels specified are hydrocarbons which are liquids at ambient temperatures, liquifiable natural gas hydrocarbons, e.g. propanes and butanes and liquid hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline, kerosene and gas oil boiling ranges.
